Exclusionary Coolness

For Klosterman, to be cool in this society something must be exclusionary.

Exclusionary coolness is something anybody from ages 6 - 20 want that is exclusionary or limited in a sense that only a few people can get or be a part of. Coolness is just a show off thing for people that are popular/outgoing, excellent; first-rate: has a cool sports car; had a cool time at the party. Acceptable; satisfactory: It's cool if you don't want to talk about it. Cool is a knowledge, a way of life. Cool is an age-specific phenomenon, defined as the central behavioural trait of teenagerhood. Coolness is the proper way you represent yourself to a human being.

Well, as we all read "The Cookie Crisp mascot was a masked rapscallion named Crook, whose whole self-identity was built on him stealing cereal." To be bold on the subject, cereal commercial aren't trying to get the attention of adult but real they are mianly get hold of the childs mind and trying to make them buy their product as such Frosted Flakes, Cocoa Puffs, etc. The companies don't try to pull in adult until they pull in the child and get them to tell their parents that they want the product, until they find out that the product isn't good at all. There are only two part of society this affects (1) The company making money off the product, that the (2) consumer a.k.a the person that buys the product like cereal, cosmetics, etc.

Churhill is broken down into groups representing colour or type of music (one listens to). The group that i am choosing is the rocker group. In the rocker group the only way you can be a rocker is if you listen to rock and live by what it says to you(the listener). In real life you look at rock music and think: what does is it really trying to tell you?, how can I use this in my day-to-day life?, etc. The real concept behind the music is the Band or group playing the music putting their own heart, soul and feelings into what they play, so then you (the listener) know how the rock band/group feels at a point in time.
